      July 2026 PNW Weather

      Not out in the ocean, and this is the problem with "peak jet climo". The vast majority of the time, November is squarely a fall month here. Even if it's just as rainy and cloudy as winter is (and really, because of it). There's just way too much latent heat off to our west, the average first freeze at PDX and SEA isn't even until fairly late in the month. Now if you can get continental air like November 2010, 1985, etc you can override that giant heat sink normally immediately upwind from us and really enjoy the benefits of the low sun angles that time of year. The real October crash if anything is in the intermountain West and Great Basin, where the combination of inversion season starting and the seasonal collapse of the 4CH often just crash the weather straight from summer to winter within a couple weeks. The more cut off you are from oceanic air, the more wintry November is in the West.

      July 2026 PNW Weather

      You’re speaking my language. Only 20 more days of proper “summer light”, 40 days until the sun is low enough to tint an overcast sky, and 50 more where “summer early morning light” extends to noon. 51 days until pumpkin spice.

      July 2026 Observations & Discussions

      It helps when there's wind, but unfortunately there isn't always wind. Was out at around 7 pm when the dewpoint was in the mid 70s but the wind was almost dead calm, and even after having a lot of days this summer with dews like that, it still felt pretty darn uncomfortable.
